For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a ninja. Thanks to my trip to Kyoto, Japan, I had the opportunity to learn how to be a ninja, from a true descendant of ninjas.
Ninjutsu is the strategy and tactics of unconventional warfare. Much like modern special ops, Ninjas or Shinobi were covert agents and mercenaries in feudal Japan.
Used primarily for assassinations, espionage, and spying.
And while I was here in historic Kyoto, I wanted to see what it takes to be a ninja…
How to be a Ninja (step-by-step guide):
Step 1. Dress the Part
Step one, as always, you have to dress for the job you want, not the one you have.
And in this case that means changing into a traditional Shinobi Shozoku.
This outfit is generally accepted as a ninja uniform, but the truth is, ninjas wore whatever it took to blend in. Often disguised as farmers, peasants, and samurai to get closer to their mark.
Step 2. Show Respect
Next, it’s important to show respect at all times.This is something that the Japanese as a whole take very seriously.
Respect for the place, teacher, student, enemy, all things deserve respect.
Step 3. Learn the language
Then, one must learn the ninja meditation practices of Kuji-kiri, which is said to have Taoist, Buddhist and Shinto roots.
There are nine different hand positions used like a meditative hand yoga.
Each symbol represents a specific ability such as healing wounds, predicting danger, and of course, invisibility.
This combination of hand signs, breath, and visualization induces a powerful mental state for ninjas.
Step 4. Gain Power from Breath
Ninjas get power from nature. It is absorbed through deep breathing and then released on anyone who crosses them.
Step 5. Walk the Walk
Once you’re mentally in control, its time to walk the walk.
Eyes and shoulders level. Stay low. Don’t move the upper body. Aware of every movement, down to the little toe.
Step 6. Disappear
Step six, you have to be able to hide weapons in plan site, and even more important… vanish into thin air at a moments notice.
Ninjas use trap doors, hidden compartments, and any advantage possible against attackers.
Step 7. Know your Weapons
After all this, you’re ready to move on to weaponry.
Starting with the sword, and not to be overlooked, its holder. The holder can be used for everything from snorkeling to digging.
Learn the proper grip, position, swing and most effective killing technique with the sword.
Next its the dagger (Kunai) – used in close quarters, this is the ninjas preferred weapon of choice on many occasions
And the Kusarigama which is a weighted chain with a curved blade.
But remember, a ninja doesn’t need a weapon to kill. If necessary, his own belt does the trick.
Perhaps the most popular of them all however is the ninja star (Shuriken).
And finally, if you’re in need of a longer range device, the blowgun is your tool of choice.
The further away the better.

At the end of the day, no doubt this is just an exhibition of Ninjutsu, and unfortunately, because of a few external factors, I’ll never be a secret mercenary for a Japanese emperor.
But thanks to a crash course on how to be a ninja from my instructor, a true descendant of ninja heritage, Izo Ichikawa, at the Ninja Dojo and Store in Kyoto – I came about as close as possible to living out a childhood dream.
And for that reason, I consider today a success.
But please if you learned anything today, for your safety and mine, I think its best if you don’t tell anyone I shared this information with you.
They’re always watching.

I was in desperate search of some way to make my ex boyfriend fall back in love with me. We have had our ups and downs, but over the past 6 months our relationship went south.

I am reaching out because I want to be the desirable woman that I used to be and him fall back in love with me, and marry me. I can’t picture this boy with anyone else until i really contacted Dr. Ikhine who make my dreams come through via him agbadado@gmail.com or via call or WhatsApp +2347038832903 it really works
Hello everyone, I am here to share a testimony on how my HIV was cure by a herbal doctor with the help of herbal medicine and herbal soap, As we all know medically, there is no solution or cure for HIV and the cost for Medication is very expensive. Someone introduced me to a man (Native Medical Practitioner) I showed the man all my Tests and Results and I told him i have already diagnosed with HIV and have spent thousands of Money on medication. I said I will like to try him cause someone introduced me to him. He asked me sorts of questions and I answered him correctly. To cut the story short, He gave me some medicinal soaps and some herbs and he thought me how am going to use them all. At first I was skeptical but I just gave it a try. I was on his Medication for 2 weeks and I used all the soaps and herbs according to his prescription. That he will finish the rest himself. And I called him 3 days after, I arrived and I told him what is the next thing he said, he has been expecting my call. He told me to visit my doctor for another test. Honestly speaking, i never believe all he was saying until after the test when my doctor mention the statement that am, HIV negative and the doctor started asking me how come about the cure, And I make a promise to Dr. ovoko that if I’m heal I will testify his good work in my life, if there is anyone out there who may need the help of Dr ovoko you can call him or WhatsApp him on:+2347063915230 or via him email Drovokospelltemple77@gmail.com THANK YOU FOR READING

testimony on how a powerful spell caster cured my HIV disease, i was
diagnosed of this disease, in the year 2009, last week i saw a testimony on

call and he asked me to email him, which idid, so he told me that all my
problems is over and then he decided to do an healing spell spell for me so
after he finished it, he told me to wait for just 24 hours and then i

I have been casting spells for many years and I have helped many people, I might be able to help you too. I am honest, and I genuinely care for all the clients who choose me to cast a spell for them.
If you have any questions about Love, Money, curse, protection, bad luck, divorce, court cases, or about me please call or email me. I really want you to feel comfortable before moving forward with any spells, or other services. I will take the time to explain things to you and provide you with honest advice, to what is best for your situation. I will not pressure you into having a spell cast, I will leave that decision up to you, and when or if you decide to move forward, I might be able to help you.
I will respect your Privacy. I will not seek to obtain any of your personal information beyond what you might voluntarily offer and all information you might give me including emails, phone numbers and photos will remain private and confidential.
I perform my Rituals only at night between the hours of 0.00 – 0.59 (South African time) lasting 1 hour but of course, this depends on the nature of the ritual, some rituals might take hours and can also become necessary to be performed at specials places like; flowing streams, cemeteries and other places dictated by the gods.
I do not want anyone to be under any illusions about my spells and its numerous rituals. Real and effective Voodoo is no child’s play, it is expensive because, after the rituals, I will have to destroy all the materials involved by fire and the ashes scattered over a flowing stream or river.
You will get what you seek.But please understand this might take a lot of time and that individual results may vary. contact +27663492930, greatogudugu@gmail.com
